What is one of the goals for treating uveitis?

One of the primary goals in treating uveitis is to achieve normal intraocular pressure (IOP). Uveitis often causes inflammation within the eye, which can lead to various complications, including increased IOP due to fluid accumulation or changes in aqueous humor dynamics. Managing IOP is crucial because elevated pressure can result in further ocular damage and even blindness if left untreated. Striving for a normal IOP helps alleviate discomfort for the patient and preserves visual function. This goal reflects the importance of maintaining ocular health amid the inflammatory processes associated with uveitis.

While complete cessation of all medications might be a long-term aim, it is not a primary goal in managing acute inflammation. Likewise, increased aqueous flare and corneal opacity would indicate worsening disease rather than improvement. Therefore, achieving normal IOP is vital in the treatment of uveitis.
